Publicly celebrated in Sri Lanka for his efforts in transforming the country’s economy and shaping the world’s drinking habits, Taylor died in disgrace and remains unknown to the present day in his native Scotland. Using a unique archive of Taylor’s letters written over a forty-year period, A ..."

It does so through a focus on the under-researched themes of slavery, cross-cultural encounters, economics, war, tourism, and the modern diaspora since 1945."

"For almost 200 years, the English have been one of the largest migrant streams to New Zealand (they have been on the move globally since around 1600). Yet relatively little has been written about their experiences in New Zealand, compared with their Irish, Scottish, Indian, Chinese and Pacific counterparts. This book brings together leading international scholars and prominent local researchers to explore a wide range of topics and issu ..."
"Most investigations of foreign-born migrants emphasize the successful adjustment and settlement of newcomers. Yet suicide, heavy drinking, violence, family separations, and domestic disharmony were but a few of the possible struggles experienced by those who relocated abroad in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and were among the chief reasons for committal to an asylum. Significant analysis of this problem, addressing the interco ..."

"In addition, May Greig, Taylor's niece, contacted him and provided him with
copies of her uncle's letters. Some of these fed into Forrest's chapter on the '
Loolecondera Story' in the anniversary publication. Surprisingly, evidence of
Taylor's legacy also appears in bestselling popular fiction. Barbara Cartland's
romance novel Moon Over Eden, published in 1976, draws on Forrest's account
of Taylor. Her key character, Chilton Hawk, h ..."
